The Wildemount Irregulars (2020)

No.  No wizard.  When you decapitated Jetzo, I think your sword reacted.  The guards surrendered so I told them to leave.  After you went still, I scanned you for magic.  You and your sword were both surrounded by a necromantic aura.  It reminded me of the magic that can restore a person's soul to their body, though I admit I don't fully understand it.

Also, I took your sword out of your hand to see if it would break the spell.

(OOC - Whoops my bad - forgot you took his sword. He is holding an invisible one at the ready before realizing it's gone :D) 

Silent takes a long look at the corpses of the two guards and Jetzo. This is bad. How long was I out? He shakes his head. Never mind - forget the magic devilry, we'll deal with that later. The Zhelezo will be on us, that halfling is going to spill. We need to get through the Gorge before they catch up to us. This is... real bad. 

He will walk over to Jetzo's corpse and start rummaging through it, looking for gold and anything belongings that might be of use, muttering under his breath as he does so. 

You were out about...half an hour or so, I suppose.  The halfling was just attacked by one of his comrades, so I'm not sure if he's going to run to the authorities right away.  I expect he'll hide, based on the way he panicked. I agree that we should get moving, though.  Should we bury the body?

Looking up from the corpse, Silent says in an expressionless voice: I say we let him be a warning. Leave it for the crows. 

Magnum nods, but remains concerned about Silent's mental state. 

Silent, you find a total of 23 silver and 51 copper pieces in the guards' armour, tucked into various pockets and small pouches.  On Jetzo, you find 140 gold pieces and 18 silver.  No other items attract your interest.

Silent hands 70 gold, 20 silver and 25 copper to Magnum before pocketing the rest of the coins. He takes a last look at the corpse and turns around. That horse probably won't hold the both of us. We're gonna have to leg it, yeah? 

Also, I injured it to stop Jetzo from escaping.  Let's get going.

Magnum will use Prestidigitation to clean any evidence of blood from our clothing and Silent's sword.

You both clean up nicely.

Silent starts heading out with Magnum as planned, along the road north from Nicodranas. 

You journey the rest of the day.  Are you travelling now at a slow, medium or fast pace?  Are you pausing at night, or keeping going?

Magnum is fine with a fast pace, but he'll insist on stopping/resting to avoid exhaustion.  Preferably away from the road and without a campfire.

Silent agrees. When preparing for the night's rest he will attempt to gather surrounding materials (be it brambles and tree branches at the roadside or rocks near a hill) to try and create some sort of natural-looking cover while they rest. 

Silent, please make a Survival check to create some cover.

Magnum will ritually cast Alarm as well. 

Survival 7  

You make good progress through the day; you pass numerous travellers as you go, but do not stop to speak to any. Evening comes, and you find a spot two hundred feet from the road and well secluded, you think. Silent fashions a covering that will keep them hidden from anyone unless they physically step onto it - an impressive piece of work.

Sleep comes for Silent, and Magnum enters his rest mode, keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings.

Silent, in the night, as you dream, you feel a presence nearby. Angry, confused, it calls out for you, not by name but because you are the only thing close enough for it to perceive. A voice sounds in your mind:

You! Show yourself!

You know that you don't need to respond, but you can do so if you wish.

I'm right here. Who the hell is askin'? 

(OOC: If Silent looks down at himself in the dream, is he equipped with his weapons and armor as in real life?) 

He is, if he chooses to be.  Silent appears to be lucid dreaming and to have a certain amount of control over what is happening, including his appearance and what is around him.

Jezto.  My name is Jezto you orc dog.  Street filth.  And you killed me.  Do you think to escape?  Do you think my master will tolerate this, and leave me unavenged?
